Disk partitioning question



Hi !
I am installing a new SBS 03 server which will come with hardware RAID5 disk
space. Shall I create partitions or volumes ? I was planning to create 3
areas - one for system, one for exchange, one for users data. Also, I planned
not to use the whole space but to leave free space to extend
partitions/volumes - can I do that on the fly?- when I need to. Is that a
good idea?
Thanks!!
